Regula Tschumi

Regula Tschumi is a Swiss ethnologist and photographer whose work bridges art, anthropology, and cultural storytelling. Living between Switzerland and Ghana, she has spent more than two decades researching and documenting African art forms, rituals, and belief systems. Her long-term focus on the funeral culture of the Ga people in Ghana has made her one of the leading researchers and photographers in this field.

Tschumi completed her doctorate at the University of Basel, where she wrote her thesis on the figurative coffins and palanquins of Ghana. Beyond her academic work, she has collaborated with major museums and art institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Kunsthalle Hamburg, and the Musée d’Ethnographie in Neuchâtel. Her photographs have been shown internationally and published in numerous exhibitions and books. (Website, Instagram, Facebook, Flikr)
